City Walk in Dubai
City Walk in Dubai, United Arab Emirates is one of the places that I prefer to visit when I feel like going out for a meal, or to watch a movie as it is not very crowded. It is located in the heart of the city which is just few minutes away from Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Mall. It is a great place to have a stroll especially at night when the lights are lit. As shown on below photo, the towering Burj Khalifa in the background adds glamour to the skyline. Please watch my short video below about City Walk Dubai, and do not forget to subscribe to my…

Business Bay area is probably one of the ideal places to live or stay in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

A visit to the capital of Switzerland
More on Switzerland, the country that I admired the most when it comes to spectacular scenery. It is a nation that has clean and beautiful countryside, nice people, as well as inspiring history. It is just to name a few of the reasons why I honestly love Switzerland. There is no better way to know more about this wonderful and rich country than to visit its capital city – Bern, even just for a day. Bern is the de facto capital and the fifth most populous city in Switzerland. It traces its origins back to the twelfth century with much evidence of the medieval architecture from that time preserved in…

The Significance of Train Journeys
For a tourist, there’s no better or more exciting way to explore Europe than to travel by train. Out of the many options of mode of transport to choose from, such as car, bus, or plane, undoubtedly, train travel is the most convenient and most reliable. It is a highly commendable mode of transportation for sightseeing unless you prefer to hire a car and drive on your own. Travelling by train gives you the freedom to easily move from one place to another not only in big cities but in remote rural areas as well and provides the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the countryside.

In love with Switzerland – A day in Geneva
Geneva is the second most populous city after Zurich and the French-speaking part of Switzerland. It is a global city, a financial centre, and a worldwide centre for diplomacy due to the presence of many international organisations headquartered including Europe’s United Nations and the Red Cross. CERN in Geneva is the birthplace of world wide web (www) as we know it today. It was invented by an English engineer and computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. I only had one day scheduled to explore Geneva, which, unfortunately, really did not do it justice considering its magnitude in history and the many interesting things to see and do. Still, I’m so…

Moscow, Russia
Moscow is the capital and the largest city of the Russian Federation. It is the seat of the government, as well as the political, scientific, historical, architectural, and business centre of the country. It displays the country’s contrasts at their most extreme. Its distinguishable symbols of great and terrible past, as well as ancient and modern architecture, are visible side by side. Today, imposing Soviet buildings, the Seven Sisters, or Stalinist skyscrapers representing Stalin’s empire and other impressive architectures spread all over in this intimidating city. You may love or hate Moscow. You may probably be visiting monumental and palatial areas at one point. Then all of a sudden, you…

Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics in Moscow, Russia
One of the things I did during my visit to Moscow was to visit the Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics. With the help of my Russian roommate – Julia, I was able to organize my visit. Travelling by train from the Red Square area via Kitay-gorod to VDNKh station, I conveniently reached the museum after approximately thirteen minutes. VDNKh is the closest station to the complex, should you wish to travel by train. Services depart every ten minutes and it operates every day.
